Reports to the Dr0rcr's .TOurRai indicate
that fully rs many cattle rs usual are being
fed, with some sections, notably i'll Kansas
and Nebraska, showing a large increase.
Fewer hogs are being fed. Fat hogs are
generally very scarce; some sections report
Il fair number of pigs for summer and fall
markets, but rs a rule not within III per
cent oi rs many as usual. Disease has been
one OF the principal causes of decrease, but
is not now ~ prevalent ~ last year and
two years ago. In regard to prices and the
general outlook, cattlc-raiScrs feel some
what discouraged, while hog-raiSers are
iubilant. Sheep-raiScrS feel one hundred
per cent better than one year ago.
